Preparations for the India vs South Africa match have begun in South Africa. Using social media, the BCCI shared images taken at the airport.
Team India arrived in South Africa on Thursday, fully prepared for the next battle, with players such as Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid carrying protective face shields and masks. Beginning on December 26, India’s trip to South Africa will begin with a three-match Test series and then a three-match one-day series. The BCCI decided to provide cricket fans an update on the team’s whereabouts and shared images from the airport on their Twitter account. ‘Touchdown South Africa’ was the post’s caption. This is a collection of images:
All-rounders Shreyas Iyer, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Shardul Thakur were also included in the collection of photographs.
Fan reaction to the tweet was overwhelmingly positive, with most wishing the team success in the upcoming Test series.
After injuring his left hamstring in training, Rohit Sharma has been forced to miss the Test series against India. Gujarat’s Priyank Panchal has taken his seat.
In a news conference on Wednesday, Kohli dismissed suggestions that he would miss the ODI series, insisting that he was always ready for selection.
After this year’s T20 World Cup, Ravi Shastri’s time as head coach of the national team will come to an end. Dravid has replaced Shastri. Rohit has been named the next full-time white-ball skipper of Indian cricket by the BCCI.
